Description:
------------
without namespace works perfectly:


<?php
// index.php
ini_set("display_errors", true);
ini_set("error_reporting", E_ALL | E_STRICT);
abstract class AbstractFileSystemItem
{
	abstract static function ensurePathIsValid($fullPath);
}
class Dir extends AbstractFileSystemItem
{
	static function ensurePathIsValid($fullPath){}
}
?>

--------------------------------------------------------

with namespace and require: (test the two files)
gives unexpected warning 
Static function AbstractFileSystemItem::ensurePathIsValid() should not be abstract

<?php
// index.php (run this)
ini_set("display_errors", true);
ini_set("error_reporting", E_ALL | E_STRICT);
require("FSNuovo/Directory.php");
?>


<?php
// FSNuovo/Directory.php
namespace FSNuovo;
abstract class AbstractFileSystemItem
{
	abstract static function ensurePathIsValid($fullPath);
}
class Dir extends AbstractFileSystemItem
{
	static function ensurePathIsValid($fullPath){}
}
?>

The namespace is not a factor, but the require yes.

Internally the php_error_cb() function is called for both cases, but just displays when the code is in another file because EG(error_reporting) is set to 'E_ALL | E_STRICT', when it's in the same file, EG(error_reporting) is 22519.
 [2010-10-16 17:07 UTC] felipe@php.net 
This is because when the code is in another file, the error is triggered in runtime, and when it is in the same file, it is triggered in compile-time, so EG(error_reporting) has the default value (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED).

So... Not a bug.

If it doesn't work as expected then it's either a bug or poor design in PHP. 
Either way it should be fixed. People put effort into reporting bugs, so it's rude 
to flag them as bogus (to make them go away) without putting much thought into 
them.

felipe is right, this is not a bug, but it is a limitation of the design
